I have been following this story since the boat was hijacked. Hijacking boats is big business in somalia. They hijack them then hold them for ransom. Hard to post this story as totally factual but it is very, very intriguing. I first saw the story 6 days ago in "The Long War Journal" ... Mystery surrounds hijacked Iranian ship - The Long War Journal

Somali pirates suffered skin burns, lost hair and fell gravely ill âwithin daysâ of boarding the MV Iran Deyanat. Some of them died. Andrew Mwangura, the director of the East African Seafarersâ Assistance Programme, told the Sunday Times: âWe donât know exactly how many, but the information that I am getting is that some of them had died. There is something very wrong about that ship.â The vesselâs declared cargo consists of âmineralsâ and âindustrial productsâ. But officials involved in negotiations over the ship are convinced that it was sailing for Eritrea to deliver small arms and chemical weapons to Somaliaâs Islamist rebels.

The Iran Deyanat was sailing in those waters on August 21, past the Horn of Africa and about 80 nautical miles southeast of Yemen, when it was boarded by about 40 pirates armed with AK-47s and rocket-propelled grenades. They were alleged members of a crime syndicate said to be based at Eyl, a small fishing village in northern Somalia. The ship is owned and operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Shipping Lines, or IRISL, a state-owned company run by the Iranian military.

According to the US Treasury Department, the IRISL regularly falsifies shipping documents to hide the identity of end users, uses generic terms to describe shipments and operates under various covers to circumvent United Nations sanctions.

He told one news publication, The Long War Journal, that during the six days he had negotiated with the pirates, a number of them had become sick and died. âThat ship is unusual,â he was quoted as saying. âIt is not carrying a normal shipment.â The pirates did reveal that they had tried to inspect the shipâs cargo containers when some of them fell sick â but the containers were locked.

That's the sound of the story going right over your head. You don't even understand your own propaganda anymore.

the only part of the story that makes me suspicious is why would radioactive material be on a boat headed for that region? Unless there is a dirty bomb factory over there? More plausible is the containers have chemicals for making chemical weapons as the LWJ speculated. Either way I'm sure it would not be hard to get that stuff into the United States using one of the drug networks which they all use for making $$$ anyways.

They do also have a legitimate nuclear energy program. They'd have to have some extremely volatile nuclear waste for radiation sickness to take out the crew that quickly.

The Ukrainian ship, the Faina, was carrying 33 Russian-built T-72 tanks when it was seized by the pirates on Thursday.

The guided missile destroyer USS Howard anchored in the area Sunday, making sure that the pirates did not remove the tanks, ammunition and other heavy weapons from the ship, which was anchored off the coast. On Monday, more U.S. naval ships and several helicopters arrived off the Horn of Africa.

Russian warship the Neustrashimy, or Intrepid, is also en route to the area, the AFP reported.

If you go to Global Security and google any of this, it does not come up, but what does is a whole series of pirating off of this lawless coast..

It's a hijacked Iranian ship. Now word is the dead pirates story is just the hijackers trying to get more $$$ for the load. Still would love to see someone get on that ship.

Very confusing on what ships are being talked about, personally surprised that this is happening with Somali's in small boats.. would have thought by now Blackwater or some other mercenary company would have been working there.

If you google the news, very little on this.. but a lot on the russian ship with the tanks.

KARMA: What goes around, comes around. Live by the hijack, die by the hijack. What you give is what you get. It is what it is....

what does this even mean?... how about commenting on what you surmise this scenario is all about, and what's on that boat? ...

perhaps it's Keyzer Soze's boat...

anyhow:

The US the naval fleet off the Somali coast alleges that The Iran Diyanat was carrying 'uranium and chemical weapons'.​

Uranium then (Niger)... OK... But, yeah, ummm (Plame)... based on the cabal's recent (WMDs) press release history at this point (mobile bioweapons labs), let's agree we all insist (terror alert) this information (Kuwati babies in incubators) is all FULLY vetted before all hell breaks loose (tubes for enrichment)... 6 weeks to election, something smells foul... with all the Iraq lies still smoldering, i would not put it past Cheney and his Pentagon pals to pull off...
